Car Transporter services Sydney to Adelaide

Finemores sold up years ago, to Toll, and now it's Patricks,
But I do hear that Ron Finemore has got back into transport , maybe Tankers or Stock

.

Former trucking kingpin Ron Finemore has marked his re-entry into the transport industry with a haulage business placed into receivership last February.

Mr Finemore's long trucking career appeared all but over in 2001 when Toll Holdings acquired Finemores Transport for $120 million.

But after waiting out a two-year non-compete clause with Toll - with plenty of time at his home in Point Piper and at the races - the 60-year-old said he did not know enough about any other industry where he could invest his money.

"The area you know most about is where you can add the most value," Mr Finemore said.

The Finemore and CVC Ltd co-owned Ron Finemore Transport will pay $6.25 million for Albury-Wodonga livestock and liquid tanker transport company Lewingtons to receivers KordaMentha.

Lewingtons' 160 prime movers and 260 employees operate from country Victoria to Queensland.

With a book value of $30 million according to KordaMentha, Lewingtons went into receivership with $15 million in debts.
